London United 5-0 Glasgow FC

Sunday 30th March - MLF First Kick
HMV Park, Essex

A rampant London United showed everyone why they play some of the best football in Britain with a thumping 5-0 victory over Glasgow FC at HMV Park.

The first four goals they scored was not without quality.

Ian Parker played a one-two with CraiCo and then crossed the ball for Rodrigo Santos, who hit a spectacular diving header home for the 1-0.

It was the first MLF goal for the Brazilian, who also made his league debut.

The second goal was just brilliant. Ian Parker delivered a brilliant corner, and CraiCo just backheeled it in with his left foot and the make the score 2-0.

The third goal was good as well. Kevin Warhurst played a great through-ball, and Edward Redwood broke the offside trap and rounded the keeper to score another brilliant goal and make it 3-0.

And Redwood was on the scoresheet again after a quality backheel from Cristiano Costa.

At 4-0, and the game virtually over, an Ashton Reid corner found the head of John Macdonald, and the rookie centre-back scored the 5-0.
